Yes, significantly. Because Cursor is a fork of VS Code, it has deeper integration. It can 'see' your entire codebase, whereas Copilot often only has context of the current file. Features like 'Composer' (Cmd+I) that can write across multiple files are game-changers.

The @Codebase feature is literally magic. It saved me hours of digging through old docs today.

I've been using Cursor for 2 weeks now and I'm never going back to regular VS Code.
